Renovated Midcentury Modern Ski Chalet in the Mountains of Vermont

A rare piece of Vermont architectural history, this distinctive chalet was the inaugural midcentury chalet home designed and built by the renowned architect Robert Carl Williams. The chalet’s interior has been completely renovated and upgraded to create a luxurious getaway from the city. The property itself is special because it was the very first chalet designed by Robert Carl Williams, who pioneered this type of midcentury modern chalet and built them exclusively in Vermont. Not only was it his first home in this style, but it was also where he personally worked while designing other homes (the loft housed the drafting tables). Williams built the home in Rochester, VT, in 1968, the same location where he designed and built the homes of the Great Hawk colony.

Williams held the property in particularly high regard and chose it to exemplify his signature design style in several architectural books. True to his vision, this home was designed to be one of a kind, with its footings poured directly into the mountain itself. Since 2024, the home has been owned by a New York marketing and advertising executive who undertook an extensive modernization, transforming this architectural gem into a luxurious mountain retreat while honoring its original character. Notable upgrades include radiant heated flooring, a custom designed built-in spiral staircase, all new European-style kitchen, custom Hinoki Ofuro Japanese soaking tub, spa-inspired bathroom, Italian porcelain terrazzo flooring, upgraded electrical systems, outdoor Ooni pizza oven, Ellkay filtered-water bottle station and newly installed oak flooring blending natural warmth with refined modern design. A magnificent fieldstone fireplace anchors the living space, creating a dramatic focal point and warm gathering place. Set on 1.3 acres at Great Hawk Resort, the property enjoys breathtaking mountain views across from land that is permanently preserved from development. The coveted garage adds valuable storage for all your mountain gear. Ideally located within approximately 30 minutes of Killington and Sugarbush Resorts and close proximity to gorgeous lakes this Four Season property offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Vermont history reimagined for modern mountain living.
